Using the Virtual Disk Copy Feature

Table 5-1 lists the Virtual Disk Copy commands and briefly describes what

the commands do.

Creating a Virtual Disk Copy

Before creating a virtual disk copy, ensure that a suitable target virtual disk

exists on the storage array, or create a new target virtual disk specifically for

the virtual disk copy. The target virtual disk must have a capacity equal to or

greater than the source virtual disk.
You can have a maximum of eight virtual disk copies in progress at one time.

Any virtual disk copy greater than eight has a status of Pending until one of the

virtual disk copies with a status of In Progress completes.

Table 5-1. Virtual Disk Copy Commands

Command

Description

create virtualDiskCopy

Creates a virtual disk copy and starts the virtual disk

copy operation.

disable storageArray

feature=virtualDiskCopy

Turns off the current virtual disk copy operation.

enable storageArray feature Activates the Virtual Disk Copy feature.
recopy virtualDiskCopy

Re-initiates a virtual disk copy operation by using an

existing virtual disk copy pair.

remove virtualDiskCopy

Removes a virtual disk copy pair.

set virtualDiskCopy

Defines the properties for a virtual disk copy pair.

show virtualDiskCopy

Returns information about virtual disk copy operations.

You can retrieve information about a specific virtual disk

copy pair, or all virtual disk copy pairs in the storage array.

show virtualDiskCopy

sourceCandidates

Returns information about the candidate virtual disks

that you can use as the source for a virtual disk copy

operation.

show virtualDiskCopy

targetCandidates

Returns information about the candidate virtual disks

that you can use as the target for a virtual disk copy

operation.

stop virtualDiskCopy

Stops a virtual disk copy operation.
